osinfo-detect - Man Page

Detect the operating system on installable media or trees

Synopsis

osinfo-detect [Options...] PATH|URI

Description

Examine the PATH or URI to determine what (if any) operating system it is for, and whether it is installable or is a Live image. By default PATH or URI will be interpreted as pointing to ISO media. To request examination of an install tree instead, the option --type=tree should be given.

The output information is formatted for humans;

Options

--format=plain
--type=media|tree

Switch between looking for CD/DVD ISO media (media, the default) or install trees (tree)

--all

Report all operating systems with matching media, instead of only the first match.

Exit Status

The exit status will be 0 if an operating system was detected, or 1 if none was found.
